THE annual St Clare Spring Raffle is back for 2016, with every ticket sold helping St Clare to continue providing compassionate care and support to local people and their loved ones.

Tickets for the charity’s annual prize draw are on sale for just £1, so if you want to help local families in need whilst also being in with a chance of winning the amazing £3,000 first place prize, then don’t delay in buying yours!

The lucky winner will be picked during a draw taking place at the hospice in Hastingwood on Thursday, March 31. Other fabulous prizes are also on offer with second place snagging an incredible 50inch television and third place going home with a brand new 15inch laptop.

This year St Clare is hoping to raise £35,000 in vital funding from its Spring Raffle, enough to cover the cost of providing its Hospice at Home service for four weeks. With a limited amount of NHS funding, St Clare is reliant on the generosity of its supporters to help raise the voluntary income they need each and every year to help pay for the care which is so desperately needed in the community.

St Clare lottery manager Caz Lakey said: “Your support will help St Clare to be there for local families facing one of the hardest journeys of their life, providing care to people with a life-limiting illness, both here at the hospice and in their own home.”

“Every ticket sold really will make a difference to local people and their loved ones who need our support, so please buy yours today.”

Spring Raffle tickets cost £1 each and are available until Tuesday, March 22 from all of the hospice shops, as well as the St Clare reception and other outlets.
You can also purchase tickets when the St Clare team hits the road on their Spring Raffle tour, so look out for ticket booths at local venues and supermarkets in the coming weeks.

If you can’t wait to get hold of your golden tickets, you can also call their raffle ticket hotline on 01279 773730 where you can purchase entries into the draw over the phone by card.
